Molinard Lavande is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Lavande opens with Lavender and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Hedione, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Labdanum. Molinard's Lavande carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Molinard Lavande is a polarising beast. Some swoon over its creamy, vanilla'd lavender, calling it a comforting spa experience. Others are utterly repulsed, detecting dirty armpits, baby wipes, or even unsettling fermented notes. It's not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Given its moderate projection and potential for off-putting notes on some skin, it's not ideal for the office. It's best suited for casual wear, where its comforting and sometimes challenging character can be appreciated without causing offence. The richer, warmer drydown makes it suitable for relaxed evenings but not overtly formal settings. Definitely avoid for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Opening with a potent blast of sharp, herbaceous lavender and fresh clary sage, Lavande quickly mellows into a creamy heart. Hedione adds a subtle brightness before a rich, warm base of tonka bean, vanilla, and benzoin takes over. Hints of earthy patchouli and amber round out the drydown, creating a sweet, balsamic warmth that lingers on the skin.
